Did you know that coaches are required to have minimum training in order to supervise, instruct or coach ski activities for children under the age of 17 years? If an individual is teaching someone to ski, they must have this training. If an individual is just helping the group (serving hot chocolate, following behind the last skier in the group as they ski around a trail, helping to put on gloves and skis), they do not require minimum training.

NCCP Intro to Community Coaching Online Modules

There are two progressive online e-learning modules designed to provide parents and other beginner coaches with basic information and a feeling of confi dence as they begin their role as a coach. These modules educate individuals on how to deliver a series of age-appropriate skill development sessions under the supervision of more experienced coaches. The orientation is towards children under nine years of age (“Active Start” and "Fundamentals" stages of athlete development). Coaches are taught basic coaching skills, growth and development considerations, and how to set up a ski playground. This is entry level, and there are no prerequisites except enthusiasm and the minimum age requirement of 14 years.
